This function demonstrates inserting Time Clock entries (in this case a vacation record) directly into the Control database. The insert requires 2 records in the Journal and 2 records in the TimeCard database. (A summary/detail for each.)

**WARNING: If you are interested in using sql_bridge, please contact a sales or implementation consultant at Cyrious.**

Cyrious Control's sql_bridge is a collection of SQL Server stored procedures and functions and external modules that can be called to safely insert or update data into the Control database and notify the CHAPI service that data has been updated. The CHAPI service is a controller program that will then notify the SSLIP and all copies of Control about the changes.

**Caution**: Use of this feature requires expertise in SQL Server and in the Cyrious database structure. It is very possible to irreversibly damage your Cyrious Control database if you make a mistake. Always develop your tests using a separate database on a separate machine.

**Caution**: Always wrap multi-record operations with SQL transaction statements. This ensure the integrity of the entire update by preventing partial changes or records from being saved. If you are not familiar with using SQL transactions, STOP! Do not proceed with any database insertions, deletions, or updates until you are.

This example inserts a note into a customer record.
